The decline of the American shopping mall Read the following extract about the decline of shopping malls in the USA and answer the questions below. The USA has about 1500 shopping malls. There are about 700 'super-regional' shopping centres and 800 smaller regional shopping malls. The superregional 'megamalls' generally outperform their smaller counterparts. Between 15 and 50 per cent of shopping malls in the USA are projected to close in the coming decades. Recession, Americans increasingly shopping in central parts of the city,

internet shopping and over-supply of shopping malls have contributed to their decline. Mediumsized shopping malls are set to fare worst. Shopping culture followed housing in the USA and moved to the suburbs following the Second World War. Northland Centre in Southfield, Michigan, was a shopping mall located just outside Detroit. It was built in 1954 but was sold to a developer in 2008.

Poverty and access to water in Detroit Read the following extract about poverty and access to water in Detroit, USA, and answer the questions below. In July 2014 Detroit officials agreed to a pause in their attempt to recover $89 million in overdue water bills by cutting the supplies of people behind with their payments. In Detroit, the median household income is now less than half the national average. Anyone who owes $ISO or is

more than two months overdue with their water bills faces being cut off from the water supply. Some 80 OOO customers are behind on their bills. In June 2014 the city council increased water prices by 8.7 per cent, which made Detroit's water bills nearly twice the US average.
